How to Get Tinder Unbanned

Have you ever tried Tinder? If yes, does it ever occur to you that your account has been banned when you are ready to start an exciting online date? Well, there must be something wrong! As one of the most popular dating apps around the world, Tinder will never ban your account for no reason. But it is a fact that Tinder places a very high priority on the authenticity and security of its users. Therefore, if you violate certain regulations while online dating on that platform, your account is going to be banned right away. Want to know how to get unbanned on Tinder? This article may help you.

Why Tinder Ban Me for No Reason?

It’s such a beautiful day, and you just open Tinder ready for a romantic date. Unfortunately, what catches your eyes is not a pretty young lady or a handsome guy, but a message saying your Tinder profile has been banned. Your good mood must be ruined! How could Tinder ban your account for no reason? Actually, it does have proper reasons.

Tinder team bans users’ accounts when it detects abnormal account activity that violates its Terms of Use or Community Guidelines, as the team always places user safety at the top of their mind. If you don’t want to check out every rule and regulation (as it will surely take you plenty of time), here are some of the possible reasons that may lead your account to be banned:

Reason 1: Registering with a fake profile

The biggest advantage of online dating is that the mystery and freshness of both sides are able to be maintained as you are dating in the digital world, and you can enjoy beautifying your selfie, job, and personality as much as you want. However, you can’t deceive others with a completely fake profile! That would really hurt your date if he/she is really interested in you so that he/she may report you to the Tinder team.

Reason 2: Using inappropriate language or sharing inappropriate photos when chatting

Community Guidelines say that Tinder is not a platform for sexual content, harassment, violence/physical harm, and hate speech. Therefore, users are not allowed to send messages or photos related to sex, blood, and racism, abuse others, or spur others to harm themselves. Rude languages (like the F-word) have also been banned in order to create a healthy dating environment.

Reason 3: Performing or precipitating illegal activities

Prostitution (commercial sexual services), human trafficking and scamming are seriously prohibited, as these kinds of activities gravely violate human decency. What’s more, any user caught sharing their own financial account like PayPal, Venmo, etc. for the purpose of receiving money may also be detected and banned, as Tinder takes the privacy of every user very seriously as well.

Reason 4: Getting reported repeatedly by others

Tinder will detect your account activity if you are reported by others repeatedly, whether you break the rules or not. Although malicious reporting sometimes inevitably occurs, those who are reported frequently usually have violated one or more regulations. Therefore, as long as you use Tinder in a proper way, there is nothing to worry about even if you are censored by Tinder.

Reason 5: Be 18 years old or older!

Since Tinder is an online dating app for adults, all minors are forbidden to use Tinder. That is to say, every user must be 18 years old or older. Furthermore, you also can’t post photos of your children alone on Tinder as your profile. When using Tinder, please report any profile that involves an unaccompanied kid or teenager, or any photos that depict one in a sexual way.

How to Get Unbanned on Tinder

First thing first, it should be noted that those banned accounts cannot be recovered in any way. Then how to access Tinder again? Actually, there are two ways to get unbanned before you completely get rid of Tinder, you can either make an appeal or create a new account.

Make an appeal

If you have not made a serious mistake when using Tinder and feel necessary to use the original account, you can contact Tinder’s customer support for help. The steps are as follows:

  1. Go to Tinder’s “submit a request” page.
  2. Select “trouble with account login” and “can’t login, my account was banned”.
  3. Enter your email address, phone number, description of your problem and add attachments if necessary.
  4. Submit your request.

Create a new account

Unfortunately, if you do violate one or more community guidelines, it is impossible to get your account back. Therefore, if you still want to use Tinder, you can only create a new account. Here’s a step-by-step guide for you to register your new account:

  1. Before registering an account, please delete Tinder on your phone and disconnect ALL of your social accounts from Tinder.
  2. Change your device ID by using another device or a VPN.
